When hard parts are replaced in a transmission or the fluid is changed, resetting the transmission’s adaptations may become necessary to restore shift quality.

Unfortunately, a fluid and filter change is not as easy as it used to be. Throw in the fact that it’s a BMW, and the need for regular maintenance becomes quite clear.
